Need some SS/MI power and a closer. Would you trade Bogaerts for this...?

[Msaint]

12-team, 6x6 mixed keeper.

I get: Ian Happ & choice of Wade Davis, Ken Giles or Addison Reed (I'd pick Davis)
I give: Bogaerts.

Bogaerts and Davis cannot be kept; Happ can be kept next two years as a 23rd rounder. I could use some more power out of my SS/MI spots, and some help in saves/WHIP/ERA. I'd lose on AVG & OBP, and a few steals...but gain in SV, HR, RBI, WHIP, ERA (Happ trails Bogaerts in RBI now, but that's in half the ABs and ROS probably tops him).

Thoughts? THANKS!

seems like a lot to give up but you could get in Davis one of the best and solid keeper for next year.

You might gain a few HRs but lose in every other offensive category (even RBIs) - a lot in avg

but if getting those extra saves makes a big enough difference then do it

Yeah, my AVG, R, OBP would get hurt for sure. But he now wants to expand to...

I get: L.Morrison, Happ, W.Davis, Giles
I give: Bogaerts, Bour, Justin Wilson, T.Rosenthal, T.Kahnle

I win on HR, my RBI gets help with Morrison, although Bour has been super solid. He takes on the risk that J.Wilson gets traded (probably), Rosenthal takes over for Oh and pitches well (maybe?); and Kahnle takes over for the traded Robertson (probably).

I would definitely do that. Shame you couldn't do the first deal.

Happ will cool off again (has to, right?) and while I love Xander, that .308 5 HR 9 SB line isn't exactly lighting the world on fire. I like Davis and Giles a lot and while I hate LoMo the person, LoMo the baseball player is OK.

So why the hate for LoMo?

BTW, I'd do either deal...both wins for you.

[Sour Masher]

I'd do this. You win this year given your needs, and you win next year in getting a keeper out of the deal.

Agree, would have jumped all over that first deal.

Yeah, sadly, he wanted to expand it. Then got cold feet altogether. Ah, trading....thanks anyway, fellas.
